Scenic Gem Reviews
All-inclusive luxury is popular with most passengers, who say they can put their wallets away as soon as they board because everything is taken care of. The cruise director and guides on the shore excursions were knowledgeable and experienced. Staff members were friendly and helpful at all times, and their primary goal was to ensure guests had a good time on their trip.
Passengers enjoyed the incredible cuisine onboard, and if they didn't have what you requested, they would go out of their way to obtain it. A few extra onboard activities would have been nice. Travelers were an average of 75 years old.
We are so glad that we chose Adventure Life. The service is top-notch. Everything is well taken care of and we just have to print the documents and go. Franny even gave us timely updates on possible airport strike.

Adventure Life (with partner Adventure Journey) got us the real experience that we were hoping for. The food was definitely above what we expected, as were the accomodations. Gabriel S. (our Galapagos guide) was so very personable and tuned in that we felt we had the premium of experiences (food, activities, people to meet and interact with). Our experience in the Cloud Forest was an impressive "birding" experience with great accomodations and wonderful food.
